My name is Stanzy Scheetz and I am excited to submit an application for this
Emerging Artist project in the South District.
This area is of a special interest for me as I lived and grew up in the South
District on Bancroft Drive from birth until the age of 13 when I left in about 2001.
It’s been many years, but I still vividly remember my neighborhood and the other
kids I hung out with, jumping fences and chasing each other from yard to yard. I
remember playing capture the flag at Weatherby Park and riding our bikes to the
Sycamore Mall only to be reprimanded in Bonnie’s Toys for being too
rambunctious. I remember taking the bus with the neighborhood kids downtown
for even more shenanigans. I was well acquainted with the route as my mother
was a graduate student at the time and depended on the bus system to get to
and from class. It is for these reasons that I was drawn to this project,
particularly because of its association with the South District.
It feels rather nostalgic to me and appropriate to return to the district that was
so impactful on my childhood and youth, but also to specifically work on a bus
stop bench— the mode of transportation that is so crucial for so many of its
residents, including my family back then. I was also drawn to the project
because I was a participant in 2021’s BenchMarks art project in downtown Iowa
City as well, so I am already acquainted with process for painting a bench and
would love nothing more than to contribute another bench to the city.
I am a small, local artist whose primary medium is in acrylic painting and I am
eager to expand my work from canvas to bigger projects. I thank you for your
consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Stanzy Scheetz
